I had a grocery delivery scheduled for yesterday but ended up extending a weekend trip into today. I couldn’t change the delivery day so it was delivered yesterday around 4, and I’ll be home around 6 today. The boxes usually include an ice pack - any chance the groceries are salvageable??

I would toss any meat/dairy products.

It is 105 where I live. No way an ice pack is going to last 26 hours in that temperature. Maybe boxed stuff is ok, but it might also be melty and gross.

See how cold they are when you get to them!

This is a good solution. Take temp of box right after opening it and assess from there

Toss the perishable stuff

Bacterial growth is insane at temperatures over 40 F and under 140 F.

Toss anything at risk.

“… an ice pack …” likely doesn’t provide enough for that duration. If it’s in insulated packing with ice packs and outside temp hasn’t been extreme - then MAY BE ok. Check the temp of anything perishable and assume it’s been that temp for hours - toss anything above 40F

If you’re friends with any of your neighbors or have a friend close by, I would call them and offer to let them have the perishables if they’ll hang onto the other stuff for you until you get home. Less waste and your stuff won’t be left sitting. (We’ve done this with out blue apron orders before… next door neighbor can pick a meal to keep if they’ll swing by and grab it for us when we’re unexpectedly unable to get to it).
